Scrapbook

Item — Volume-Folio: 1

Staff Only

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The scrapbook contains clippings of horticulrutal articles written by Little, some of which were published anonymously, as well as addresses, reports of conventions and exhibitions, an account of travel in Canada, and several letters written to him, as well as illustrations, prints, and poems that were of interest to him. His annotations are present throughout. A diagram of Little's property in Bangor is labelled with his annotations, and a broadside for his nursery is hand-colored, presumably by Little. The volume itself was originally an account book belonging to his father, Henry Little Sr, a Boston lawyer, and was later used by Colonel Little for his own accounts, though many of these entries have been obscured by the items pasted in.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.

Open to Collaborate Notice Our institution is committed to the development of new modes of collaboration, engagement, and partnership with Indigenous Peoples for the care and stewardship of past and future heritage collections. For more information .
